Transporting milk to China by rail is becoming increasingly popular. The New Silk Road gives exporters a faster way to deliver goods to the Chinese market. The COVID-19 pandemic has also accelerated the development of this route.
Many companies exporting milk and dairy products to China have relied on sea freight for years. It remains a proven solution. However, rail transport is an alternative worth considering.
Sea freight from Poland to China takes more than 30 days. By rail, transit time is around 14–18 days. This can reduce delivery time by half.
Rail transport also helps avoid long waiting times at ports. Trains on the China route run several times a week. This makes it easier to choose a departure date that suits the exporter.
A shorter delivery time also means a faster response to demand in the Chinese market. Exporters can recover money invested in their goods sooner.
Dairy products require suitable transport conditions. This is especially important for powdered milk. Contact with moisture can affect its quality.
Rail transport reduces some of the risks associated with long stays at ports. It is also less dependent on weather conditions. In maritime transport, bad weather can sometimes cause delays.
Rail is therefore an attractive option for exporters looking for a reliable solution.
Rail transport is not always more expensive than sea freight. The final price depends on several factors. These include the route, type of cargo and current market conditions.
Rail transport can also offer more predictable costs. Rates usually do not change as quickly as ocean freight rates. This makes it easier to plan the transportation budget.
Real Logistics has been operating on the New Silk Road since 2013. Our experience allows us to understand the specifics of this route.
We work with trusted partners in Poland and China. Our branch in Chengdu also allows us to supervise operations on the Chinese side.
Our own customs agency provides additional support. It helps us handle the necessary customs procedures.
We offer both FCL and LCL transport. LCL is a good option for companies that are just starting to export to China.
With LCL transport, exporters can ship smaller batches of goods. Cargo from several customers is combined in one container. This allows transportation costs to be shared.
Real Logistics also operates regular groupage services on the Łódź–Chengdu route.
Transporting milk to China by rail can be an effective solution for exporters. Shorter transit times, regular connections and the possibility of shipping smaller batches provide greater flexibility.
The New Silk Road continues to develop. More connections and companies are joining the route. For exporters, this creates new opportunities to reach the Chinese market.
